* Heat Exchanger?
it is the equipment used for the purpose of heating or cooling another fluid with a fluid;
recently, research and development for high-performance of the heat changer is actively in progress for energy saving and size miniaturization of the device using the heat exchanger.
* Classification of the Heat Exchanger according to the purpose of use
- Heater : It's a heat exchanger used for heating a fluid up to the required temperature
- Preheater : It's a heat exchanger used for making the efficiency better in the next operation(process) by heating a fluid in advance.
- Superheater : It's a heat exchanger used for heating a fluid(generally, gas)until it comes to an overheat condition.
- Evaporator : It's a heat exchanger used for evaporating liquids by heating them.
- Re-heater : It's a heat exchanger used for evaporating the condensed liquid in the device(for the sake of process) by re-heating it.
- Cooler : It's a heat exchanger used for cooling a fluid up to the required temperature.
- Condenser : It's a heat exchanger used for cooling & condense-liquifying the condensable gas, and the heat exchanger which makes steam into water by condensing steam is called Condenser.
